The 440BX chipset has full support for ACPI and therefore should work with FreeBSD and is a critical problem, what do you think might happen if you disable all your fans on your computer???. Please note that I'm not trying to diss FreeBSD in anyway for it being broken as I understand the issues with the DSDT, AML, and ASL stuff, I just want it to work.
